Because the last time she was allowed to do exactly what she wanted it all went so well, didn't it? She only lost custody of her kids and had a complete breakdown, after all.

Britney is reportedly still in contact with her greasy paparazzi partner Adnan Ghalib and is fuming like a teenager that she can't see him and allow him to exploit her one more time. She also can't understand why she isn't allowed to go out clubbing each night and then take her kids out in masses of paparazzi during the daytime. It's just not fair, and it's all dad's fault!

This spilled over into the courtroom last Friday where Britney whined like a child to the commissioner in charge of her conservator case, but she didn't get quite the sympathetic hearing she expected, with the judge calling her into her private chambers and giving Britney a 15 minute lecture probably culminating in the words 'It's shit like this that got you here in the first place you idiot!'

Maybe Britney should just grow up and appreciate that her dad is looking out for her. And appreciate the fact that he's not Michael Lohan.
